Philadelphia Eagles defensive end Brandon Graham made it clear at training camp on Wednesday that the 2024 season will be his last year in the league. Graham signed a one-year deal in the offseason with the Eagles for what will be his 15th and final season in the NFL. The 36-year-old veteran was the 13th overall pick by Philly way back in 2010 out of Michigan. He will end up playing all 15 years of his NFL career with the Eagles, which is extremely rare these days. Graham made his only Pro Bowl in 2020 and will enter his 15th season with a total of 467 tackles (344 solo), 73 sacks, 120 tackles for loss, 146 QB hits, 21 forced fumbles and seven fumble recoveries (one returned for a TD) in 195 regular-season games (105 starts). He had his first double-digit-sack season in 2022 but was only able to pick up three sacks in 17 games a year ago.
The Philadelphia Eagles have re-signed defensive end Brandon Graham to a one-year deal. This deal is worth up to $6 million for the upcoming 2023 campaign. The 13-year veteran has decided to stay with the Eagles rather than test free agency. The 34-year-old recorded a career-high 11 sacks last season, so he clearly still has something left in tank. Graham only needs to play in 11 more games to surpass kicker David Akers for the most regular season games played as an Eagle. This was a smart decision by the team to keep one of their fan-favorites around for at least one more season.
Philadelphia Eagles defensive end Brandon Graham said that the 2022 campaign will not be his last season and that he wants to play beyond this year. Graham tore his Achilles in 2021 in Week 2 and missed the rest of the year, but he's back to 100 percent health and is ready for the 2022 season. The 34-year-old veteran pass-rusher made his first Pro Bowl in 2020 by notching 46 tackles (35 solo), eight sacks, 13 tackles for loss, 16 QB hits, two forced fumbles and one fumble recovery in 16 starts. His healthy return to Philly's defensive line will be a big boost this year.
Philadelphia Eagles defensive end Brandon Graham (Achilles) is feeling good, even going as far as saying it's like the "injury never happened." The 34-year-old tore his Achilles during Week 2 of the 2021-22 season, resulting in a trip to the injured reserve list. The veteran has been a dominant force for the Eagles during his career, totaling 312 solo tackles and 59 sacks throughout 12 years of service. Graham has been known to bounce back quickly from injuries, so considering he will enter the preseason without any restrictions, he should continue to provide value for managers in IDP formats, even though his best days may be behind him.
Philadelphia Eagles edge rusher Brandon Graham is feared to have torn his Achilles against the San Francisco 49ers. The Eagles defense has looked really good in their first two weeks of the young NFL season, but Graham missing the rest of the season hurts. Though the 33-year-old is still an elite player, this injury could be a catalyst for his inevitable decline. Graham's absence doesn't change much for fantasy managers, but it's an upsetting development for fans around the league.
Philadelphia Eagles defensive end Brandon Graham (ankle) and offensive guard Brandon Brooks (chest) have both been ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's Week 2 contest against the 49ers. The Graham injury looked particularly bad, as he was helped off the field and then carted to the locker room. The Eagles losing crucial pieces of their offensive and defensive lines would be major issues for a team that's trying to contend in a weak NFC East.
Brandon Graham Receives One-Year Contract Extension
The Philadelphia Eagles signed defensive lineman Brandon Graham to a one-year contract extension worth close to $20 million on Monday through the 2022 season. The 11-year veteran has played exclusively with the Eagles after being selected in the first round in 2010. He recorded eight sacks last year on his way to earning his first Pro Bowl bid. Graham was originally due $13 million in 2021. Graham had 46 tackles (35 solo), two forced fumbles and one fumble recovery in 16 regular season games in 2020. The long-time Eagles starter has 59 career sacks and had a career-best 92.1 grade from Pro Football Focus, which was tied for third-best in the NFL.
Philadelphia Eagles defensive end Brandon Graham has been with the team since 2010 and turns 33 years old next month, and he wants to remain with the Eagles after their tumultuous 2020 season that led to quarterback Carson Wentz being traded to the Colts. Graham has been on the trade and cutting block but has twice re-signed with the team. With Philadelphia entering a rebuilding mode, Graham made it clear that he wants to stay in Philly. "I don't want to go anywhere," Graham said. "I know I don't have long, but I know for me, I'm here in Philly." The Pro Bowl pass-rusher in 2020 recorded 46 tackles (13 for loss), 16 QB hits, two forced fumbles, one fumble recovery and eight sacks in a full season. While Graham may not have many years left, he's remained productive and has 16.5 sacks in the last two years with the Eagles.
Philadelphia Eagles defensive end Brandon Graham (ankle) is likely to start training camp on the Physically Unable to Perform list, according to sources. Graham had surgery on his ankle in May after playing with a sprained ankle in the Super Bowl. The 30-year-old had 47 tackles and a career-high 9.5 sacks for Philly last year. He should be ready in time for the start of the regular season.
Philadelphia Eagles defensive end Brandon Graham is not likely to get a contract extension before entering free agency. Graham is scheduled to be a free agent after the 2018 season, as this will be the last season of his four-year, $26 million contract. Graham recorded 9.5 sacks in 2017 and should be able to command at least $15 million per season even though he turned 30 in April. He'll be one of the more sought-after defensive linemen in free agency.
